Missed river value bet

[thejameser]

i don't think Ace high calls everytime. the question is do they call enough for it to show value? i don't think you can say HELL YES so confidently. i think it is close. i also don't mind the river check and in the long run cannot see it being a big loss of value for the bets you save when you are behind and the risk of being bluffraised(which may not even be a factor, i am just throwing it out there because some people may fold to it). obviously, a good read could change some things.

oh, and i forgot to add that a major reason i like a river check is not just to save a bet, but to induce a bluff out of lesser hands that would not have called a bet. i can't believe i did not mention that part.

edit to say crunchy already said this and i agree.
